DIRECTIONS: Contextual Research [TV Drama Research - 'The Office' JJ ABRAMS]


Handheld w/ lots of zooming gives 1st hand, spontaneous impression.
Overexposure in car heavily adds to this.




Focus shift used a lot but most effectively here.
 Starts on Jim, moves to Dwight as he delivers the punchline and back to Jim for his reaction. 


TWO CHARACTERS FRAMED ON EITHER SIDE OF ROOM PARTITION, GOOD USE OF SPACE IN CONTEXT TO COMPOSITION


LOTS OF WATCHING FROM BEHIND SCENERY


LIGHTING CONTRAST TO EARLIER. V BRIGHT HOPEFUL CONTRASTED BY V DARK ARGUMENT

LOST 1x01 COMMON DIRECTORIAL TRAITS: 

  • Handheld camera with lots of zooming
  • Focus shifting
  • Using scenery to block vision
